Pulgar will have to serve an automatic suspension in the Flamengo vs Fortaleza match

Coach Filipe Luís will not be able to count on Erick Pulgar in the next Flamengo match in the Brasileirão. This is because, at the beginning of the match against Palmeiras, this Sunday (19), the Chilean midfielder received a yellow card and will have to serve an automatic suspension.

Erick Pulgar received a yellow card six minutes into the game after a strong tackle on Maurício. It is worth noting that the Chilean had already been penalized in matches against Grêmio and Internacional in the first round of the Brasileirão.
